Fantastic 5.0
Enjoyed the 1 day tour with Tonny. We were a small group of 10. Monterey and 17-mile drive were amazing! We stopped at various sights with sufficient time, and the weather was perfect! Well recommended, especially for those who are not driving.

Great 4.0
Alma did a great job as a guide showing us around and providing history. Transportation was by public transportation and Uber, which I did not expect. I know this was a walking tour but I thought at least there would be van as transportation was indicated with the klook description. it is just a pick up and drop off at the border. Lunch was good but nothing spectacular. Tequila tasting was good especially with the chance to eat a mezcal soaked scorpion (like eating a crab or shrimp). Overall a good intro to Tijuana for a first time visitor but did expect a bit more.

great tour overall! Very relaxing just seeing all the views if you prefer a less active activity or just to cap off an active day :)

Fantastic 5.0
We had such a fun time on this whale watching tour! The staff was very professional and our marine biologist guide was very knowledgeable about the sea lions, dolphins, and whale we saw. The boat was not crowded and they had plenty of life jackets. I would do this tour again in the future.

How far ahead should you book?

Plan ahead so you don’t miss out

0 daysLast-minute

6 daysEarly

Most travellers book only about 1 day ahead, with ‘early’ bookers at about 6 days, so Australians retain lots of flexibility — but during May’s peak demand it’s wiser to secure bookings sooner. Based on Klook booking data, February 2026 – July 2026.

What to know before visiting San Diego

What to do in San Diego

San Diego’s top activities on Klook centre on Zoos & aquariums, Theme parks and Museums, followed by Attraction passes and Tours, with seasonality shaping the year. Klook booking data show visitor numbers rise sharply in April and May, creating a busy spring for outdoor and family attractions, while November is the quietest month. If you’re choosing between busy, event-filled weeks and calmer sightseeing, pick between peak-season buzz and quieter off-peak time — Klook booking data can help time bookings around those trends.

Best months to visit San Diego

Spring is the city's busiest period: Klook booking data mark April and May as strong peaks for demand, while November is the trough when visitor numbers are lowest. Hotel and activity prices move through the year with some divergence — September shows the highest typical prices on Klook even though demand is quieter then, while October is the most affordable month by price. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider October and November; for peak-season atmosphere and event-driven energy, aim for April or May.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Quieter than usual AUD 99
February About average AUD 105
March Busier than usual AUD 96
April Peak demand AUD 97
May Peak demand AUD 114
June Peak demand AUD 127
July Busier than usual AUD 114
August Quieter than usual AUD 114
September Quieter than usual AUD 185
October Very quiet AUD 58
November Very quiet AUD 118
December Very quiet AUD 166

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Where to stay in San Diego

Klook booking data show Cortez Hill is the most affordable district for nightly hotels, with a typical rate around AUD 178, while East Village sits at the priciest end with a typical AUD 372 nightly rate — a difference of roughly 52%. Cheaper districts tend to suit travellers prioritising budget and straightforward sightseeing; pricier districts suit those who want a livelier neighbourhood or more upscale hotel choices. Use these Klook trends to match your priorities: save by staying in Cortez Hill or trade cost for atmosphere in East Village.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers book fairly close to arrival: on Klook the typical booking lead time is about 1 day ahead, while the earliest planners book around 6 days out. That means you can often be flexible and book experiences a day or two before travel, though in April and May (the peak months) earlier reservations are wise. Use Klook to lock in tickets and time-sensitive activities during busy periods, and consider booking mid‑week or in October for lower typical prices and quieter crowds.
